"It was nice to see so many people swing the bats well today," said Lee head coach Emily Russell. "We are a young team and hit a rough patch in the season but I think just getting the win in game two against King (on Wednesday) really helped get us refocused. We made things interesting in game two on Friday but I'm proud of how we battled and took care of business to get three big GSC victories. We are excited for these last three conference series and really believe are best softball is in front of us."
